Mintty terminal always opens at 79 char width

n/t. Despite being set to 80 in the Options, Apply/Save being done, minttyrc being manually edited to say Columns=80, windows keep opening at 79 char width. This is on Windows 10 Home with the latest 32 bit Cygwin 2.11.2. I've tried both Consolas and Lucida Console font. Thanks, saurabh -- Probl

RE: Running tasklist /m in cygwin hangs

Hi, Running "tasklist /m file.dll" hangs in Cygwin even though it works perfectly fine in the cmd window. Is there any reason for this? I am using a somewhat older cygwin (1.7.25) on a Windows 7 box, and do not want to upgrade unless newer cygwin doesnt show the problem. Thank you.

Max memory page hosed my cygwin registry - how to get it back?

I ran the regtool -i set /HKLM/Software/Cygwin/heap_chunk_in_mb 1024 command from http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-maxmem.html After this regtool -v list /HKLM/Software/Cygwin shows nothing. Appears regtool has a different syntax than what's shown on the page. (a) How do I get my prev
